White House Shifts Higher Ed Landscape, Impacts Students & Institutions

Recent shifts in national higher education policy, including changes to student loans and the Department of Education, have significantly impacted colleges and universities. Cornell and Northwestern settled with the Trump administration to restore research funding, while new federal student loan guidelines have been finalized. The Education Department also announced plans to outsource core responsibilities to other federal departments, aiming to streamline operations and return more control over education to the states. However, international student enrollment has seen a seventeen percent decline this fall, the largest drop since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to increased scrutiny on student visas and financial challenges.
